Well said! I never could understand why some people are so adamant about giving/getting something on any Corporate Pocket Filling Day (TM) holiday. Why do we need an official corporate sponsored day for giving cards/flowers/chocolates? In fact, wouldn't it be even more romantic to receive something on a random day when you don't expect it?
